Accepted as an official breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1885, the giant, loving, and loyal Saint Bernard became the most popular dog in the country by the 1890s. While this gentle giant hasn’t garnered as much widespread popularity since the early days of the breed’s recognition in the U.S., the Saint Bernard is still a much beloved pooch.
They're an especially wonderful family pet and are well-loved for their gentleness with children and other animals. All they ask for in return is some of the best dog food, and maybe one of the best large dog beds.
